Abstract
Description
【0001】
【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は楽器に関し、特にブロック型の打楽器(パーカッションインストルメント)に関する。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
ブロック型打楽器は当該分野で周知である。これらの楽器は音楽家が典型的にはドラムスティックでたたくことによってシャープな楽しい音をかなでることのできる楽器である。これらの楽器は典型的には中空の木製ブロックからなっており、しばしばテンプルブロックとも称されている。これらのイディオフォーン打楽器は中空室をブロック状にして楽器から生ずる音をかえている。
しかしこれらの楽器は製作費用が高く、また伝統的にたたいたとき限られた範囲の音だけを生ずる。それ故、製作が簡単且つ安価で、たたいたとき広い範囲の音を生じうるブロック型打楽器への要求が存在する。
【0003】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
従って、本発明の目的は製作が簡単且つ安価なブロック型打楽器を提供することにある。
本発明の更なる目的は異なる部位をたたいたとき広い音調範囲をもたらす上記打楽器を提供することになる。
本発明の更なる目的は組立ての容易な上記楽器を提供することにある。
【0004】
【課題を解決するための手段】
従って、本発明は第1端と第2端をもち、且つ第1端と第2端の間に長さに沿って実質上半円形の断面をもつ中空ブロック型打楽器に関する。
【0005】
【発明を実施するための最良の形態】
本発明のブロック型楽器は製作コストが最小で組立が容易でありながら、音とボリュームと音調(トーン)の発生を最大にする優雅な構造をもっている。
【0006】
図示するように、本発明の好ましいブロック楽器は10で示す。楽器10は丸みのある頂部12、実質的に平坦な底部14、好ましくは開放されている第1端16、好ましくは楽器の補強の目的で凸形の縁20及び凸形の支持リッジ22をもつ。リッジ22は好ましくは2個以上、最も好ましくは2個の小さい開孔がその中を通っている。
【0007】
図3に示すように、好ましい楽器10は、第2端18中の開孔24を介して楽器10を一般的なアイボルト取付片28に取り付けることのできる1対のネジ26、好ましくはトラスネジをもつ。それにより音楽家が容易に且つ安定的に届く位置に配するように、楽器10をドラムセット、ミュージックホルダーその他の支持体に取り付けることができる。ネジ226は弾性止めナット(図示せず)又はゴムの座金(ワッシャー)32によってブロック楽器上に固着させることが好ましい。2個のネジの使用は使用中にブロック楽器が揺れるのを防ぐのに好ましい。楽器10の第2端18には2個以上の開孔24を音に大きな悪影響を与えることなしに用いうる。
【0008】
楽器10の頂部12の曲線は独特の半円形断面をもつ内部室34をもたらす。この室の形状が心地よい音質、審美的アピール、たたき易い外側のプロフィールをもたらす。また楽器10の打撃面である頂部12の曲線面の異なる部位をたたくことによって異なる音を生じうる。
【0009】
第1の楽器10の好ましい寸法は次のとおりである:外側の幅86mm、長さ112.5mm、凸形リム20を含まない長さ100.5mm、厚さ4mm,頂部12の最高点から内部室34内の底部14まで42mm、開孔24のそれぞれの中心間40mm、底部14の外側表面から開孔24の1つの中心への最短線17.5mm、底部14に沿い開孔24を連結する支持リッジ22への凸形リム20の隣接表面間11.5mm。
【0010】
他の好ましい角度及び寸法は上記した好ましい値に基づいて図から求めうる。また座金32は好ましくは厚さ4mm、直径19mm、中心開孔の直径9.5mmをもつ。スクリュー26は好ましくは長さ28mmの替管(シャンク)28をもつ。用いる止めナットは好ましくは最も幅の広い点での横断長さ12.5mm、厚さ7.9mmをもつ。
【0011】
楽器10の本体は好ましくはABS、ガラス繊維又はレキサン(Lexan)等のアクリル樹脂等の硬質プラスチックからつくられる。最も好ましくは、楽器10の本体は上記材料の1以上、好ましくはABSから単一ピース射出成形されうる。
本発明を好ましい態様について説明したが、本発明の技術思想からはずれることなく適宜の変形をなしうることは明らかである。

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a musical instrument, and more particularly to a block-type percussion instrument.
[0002]
[Prior art]
Block percussion instruments are well known in the art. These instruments are instruments that a musician can typically produce a sharp and enjoyable sound by striking with a drumstick. These instruments typically consist of hollow wooden blocks, often referred to as temple blocks. These idiophone percussion instruments change the sound produced by the instrument by making the hollow chamber into a block shape.
However, these instruments are expensive to produce and produce only a limited range of sounds when traditionally struck. Therefore, there is a need for a block percussion instrument that is simple and inexpensive to manufacture and can produce a wide range of sounds when struck.
[0003]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a block-type percussion instrument that is simple and inexpensive to manufacture.
It is a further object of the present invention to provide a percussion instrument that provides a wide tonal range when striking different parts.
It is a further object of the present invention to provide an instrument that is easy to assemble.
[0004]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
Accordingly, the present invention relates to a hollow block percussion instrument having a first end and a second end, and having a substantially semicircular cross section along the length between the first end and the second end.
[0005]
BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION
The block-type musical instrument of the present invention has an elegant structure that maximizes the generation of sound, volume, and tone (tone) while being easy to assemble with minimal production costs.
